Of all knowledge, the wise and good seek mostly to know them... - William Shakespeare

"Knowing I lov'd my books, he furnish'd me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom."

"As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words."

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

"I bear a charmed life."

"Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?"
